Inspired by the founder’s childhood spent traveling the world and growing up in Zambia, Crater Lake Company crafts artisanal bath and skincare luxuries using exotic, globally sourced ingredients in a variety of unique, hand-blended fragrances. The company’s line of essential bath and body luxuries turn the ordinary bathing experience into an indulgent work of art.

Founded in 2007 by Sharonn Itliong, a self-proclaimed and hopelessly addicted product-junkie, the company’s skin care indulgences reflect some of the world’s best kept beauty secrets that she discovered while growing up in Zambia. While there she learnt the secret to long, lustrous hair from Auntie Annie, her mum’s Indonesian friend. Her Zambian nanny taught her how to make her very first balm using oils and butters they purchased from the local market and her Sri Lankan friend showed her the many uses of coconut oil. In addition, Crater Lake Company’s artisanal line of bath luxuries incorporates the multi-generational knowledge passed on to her by the women in her Filipino family about the beauty benefits of indigenous fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs. All throughout her childhood, Sharonn would sit in rapt attention and listen to these impromptu beauty lessons. She listened and learned. Learned and tried. Tried and perfected.

Today, the brand embodies the perfect balance between the innovations of modern science and the wisdom of centuries old beauty secrets. Its line of rejuvenating scrubs, soothing creams, nourishing conditioners and skin perfecting masques grace the pages of prestigious trade and consumer publications, as well as the shelves of fine retailers and spas. Boasting a cult-like following among beauty editors and customers alike, Crater Lake Company’s rise to indie brand fame, while no surprise to many, has been nothing short of extraordinary.

With its main office located in historic downtown Peekskill, NY, Crater Lake Company continues to craft innovative formulas using the finest ingredients from all over the world such as Zambian coffee, Peruvian chocolate, South African Marula oil and South Asian Ayurvedic herbs. Their unique, hand-blended fragrances inspired by Sharonn’s travels utilise the finest essential and fragrance oils, absolutes and resins. From Peekskill to Perth and points in between, Crater Lake Company continues to enjoy and build an international following that reflects its global beginnings.
